Modelling the flow of air within the atmospheres of these planets, Carone and her colleagues found that this unusual day - night divide can have a marked effect on the distribution of ozone across the atmosphere: at least for these planets, the major air flow may lead from the poles to the equator, systematically trapping the ozone in the equatorial region.

In addition, researchers assumed that the ancient equatorial regions were too hot for vertebrates to live during the Early Triassic.

For example, in Earth atmospheric circulation (such as Hadley cells) transport heat between the warmer equatorial regions to the cool polar regions and this circulation pattern not only determines the temperature distribution, but also sets which regions on Earth are dry or rainy and how clouds form over the planet.

If the new computer simulations are correct, the trapping of ozone in the equatorial region of tidally locked exoplanets could be a bad indicator for the habitability of these worlds.

This chemical weathering process is too slow to damp out shorter - term fluctuations, and there are some complexities — glaciation can enhance the mechanical erosion that provides surface area for chemical weathering (some of which may be realized after a time delay — ie when the subsequent warming occurs — dramatically snow in a Snowball Earth scenario, where the frigid conditions essentially shut down all chemical weathering, allowing CO2 to build up to the point where it thaws the equatorial region, at which point runaway albedo feedback drives the Earth into a carbonic acid sauna, which ends via rapid carbonate rock formation), while lower sea level may increase the oxidation of organic C in sediments but also provide more land surface for erosion... etc..

4 / all wealthy farmers or individuals or corporations should pay poor farmers in the equatorial regions to plant trees, still having enough food crops to live by but plant O2 producing trees for income.

Ten celsius (50F) works well because that temperature seems to be too cool for equatorial regions and too warm for polar regions in the mind of the average viewer.

El Niño: A phenomenon in the equatorial Pacific Ocean characterized by a positive sea surface temperature departure from normal (for the 1971 - 2000 base period) in the Niño 3.4 region greater than or equal in magnitude to 0.5 degrees C (0.9 degrees Fahrenheit), averaged over three consecutive months.

A super important bonus, not least for users in equatorial or very hot regions — the light is transported without the excess heat that comes with direct sunlight, rendering it perfect where windows are kept to a minimum to keep the temperature down.

Location of the stations used for the Southern Oscillation Index (Tahiti and Darwin, black dots), the Equatorial Southern Oscillation Index (eastern equatorial Pacific and Indonesia regions, outlined in blue), and the Niño3.4 region in the east - central tropical Pacific Ocean for sea surface temperature (red dasEquatorial Southern Oscillation Index (eastern equatorial Pacific and Indonesia regions, outlined in blue), and the Niño3.4 region in the east - central tropical Pacific Ocean for sea surface temperature (red dasequatorial Pacific and Indonesia regions, outlined in blue), and the Niño3.4 region in the east - central tropical Pacific Ocean for sea surface temperature (red dashed line).

The current flow in the atmosphere changes the amount of low level cloud in the high latitude regions and changes the optical properties and lifetime of clouds in the equatorial region (is the primary reason for El Niño events).

That means for this equatorial Pacific region * during the 2012 - 2013 winter temperatures are not sufficiently elevated to meet the criterion for a proper El Niño.

Currently, the greatest area of biodiversity for both terrestrial and marine envorments is in the equatorial regions (Amazon and S.E. Asia respectively).

A few of the models underestimate precipitation in the equatorial region and some have rather erratic profiles for precipitation.

At +1.75 C for the entire below - surface equatorial region, the current Kelvin Wave is already approaching last year's peak values.

Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have found that a well - known period of abrupt climate change 12000 years ago occurred rapidly in northern latitudes but much more gradually in equatorial regions, a discovery that could prove important for understanding and responding to future climate change.

Note that regional proxies, such as the oxygen - isotope temperature reconstructions from the Greenland Ice Core Project that record Dansgaard - Oeschger events, often indicate faster regional rates of climate change than the overall global average for glacial - interglacial transitions, just as today warming is more pronounced in Arctic regions than in equatorial regions (Barnosky et al., 2003; Diffenbaugh and Field, 2013).

«For those not in the know» La Nina is the direct consequence of the return of trade winds to their normal strength after a Nino so that renewed surface wind stress plus the Coriolis effect generate upwelling of cool water along the equatorial region: go read it up in any decent, old - fashioned text - book on physical oceanography published after about 1970....

She then stated that Finland, for example, might see a longer growing season, but that this would not compensate for increased droughts and lower crop yields in equatorial regions.

The differences are very small over most regions (less than ± 5 %), except for a small area of the equatorial Pacific Ocean, where the non-high-end models project an increase in precipitation that is about 50 per cent greater than in the high - end models.

As for heat energy somehow going into the Earth's rotation — the only way I can see just off hand is by transporting mass from the equatorial regions to the poles, or vice versa.
